Eeeeeyy GladysB this is your fault.

and thats news, talk about sucking the last drop of blood out of a stone. Pathetic journalism.

It’s time to be fastidious about quarantine workers. Work in 1 hotel, don’t work in another. Workers have 2 be confined to working 1 quarantine hotel. Could’ve been avoided.Provide transport for each shift. Expensive, but necessary.Keep track of COVID easier

Surely Peta Credlin will have a stern word to say about this!

WTF. Have we not learned anything? Quarantine workers should work one site only.

Not surprising... NSW Premier made it abundantly clear COVID restrictions on quarantine are not applicable in her slutty state...

VIC should close it boarders to NSW. That place is still infested. Thought they were the gold standard and all that.

Why are we letting anybody back into the country. Remove the risk

Gold standard 🤮🤮

After testing, do these people need to “self isolate” GladysStyle , or are they expected to self isolate properly?

Why is this corrupt fraud still around? What is happening here?

Gold Plated Standard 🤣

robburdack

Why hasn’t the federal government stepped in with a more secure form of international quarantine? The states picking up this role at the begging of the pandemic was a good early action, but surely the Federal government could have created a better system or model by now. Useless!

NSW is the messiest state in the country, funny that it's Scott's hometown.

Working at the Ibis then at Novatel. For god's sake when will the penny drop with the powers that be and STOP letting workers in quarentine areas move between hotels? Feel so sorry for the people doing the tracing of contacts. Their job is just made harder.

But but they have ADF help

EvieDaisy3 Don't let them PASS GO, lock the borders quick.....sack Gladbags....🤭🤭😊 Was it a private company running the quarantineWas the army involved if not, bring them in. What is Scomos saying? I hear crickets..😀

Arrogance and hubris still on display

Gladys' bungled hotel fiasco

If Peta doesn’t blame DanielAndrewsMP, did it even happen? litmustest

Bloody Dictator Dan again !!

Gold Standard fuck up

No panic

But ADF. But Gold Standard. But Victoria 🤣

Blame Dan !!

Like in Adelaide, the key lesson to take out of this is that anyone who works in hotel quarantine can't also be working elsewhere. And therefore need to be paid enough so they don't need to.

Hotels were not built for quarantine. Federal government must cease its inertia and build proper quarantine facilities.

Cld you please shut up I want to see my daughter in Qld

No ADF?

Fool’s Gold standard?

How much longer can the federal government get away with accepting no responsibility of quarantine. They have had 9 months yet no questioning when will they be asked the question. By law the AHPCC must control health emergencies. GregHuntMP when are you stepping up.

Pay. People. Enough. So. They. Don't. Have . To. Work. Two. Jobs. FFS. GladysB get ya shit together.

goldstandard

It’s mathematically impossible to have only one case. The virus is still active. But obviously the symptoms are that mild people don’t even know they have it! Not even a bad flu it seems. The hype dosen’t match reality. COVIDSecondWave

Well well well. Is this ‘Gold Standard’? Perhaps containing an infectious virus in a Hotel is not as simple as the Libs and Murdoch media make it out to be?

CretinCredlin & rachelbaxendale must be notified immediately, no stone is to be unturned when it comes to hotel quarantine.!! Sorry what State is it again..

Keep fear alive.

So a quarantine worker who has NOT followed protocol has spread COVID into the community. The people in quarantine can't spread it outside, they're locked up. FACT: Anyone returning from OS is far better equipped to deal with COVID because we've actually lived with it.

So, not gold-standard? Interesting.

BUT ARE THEY USING ADF!?

Why would the government hire workers to work multiple quarantine hotels. What a Complete failure

I'm just waiting for all the LNP hacks on Sky News to scream 'Dictator koalakiller' and her deputy henchman 'Despot Bruz'!

Please listen to Dr Yan and she’s telling the truth of the virus.

And this is what complacency causes. Maybe if everyone realised there’s still a pandemic going on, mask wearing and social distancing would’ve continued and there would be no stress about cases.

Close he borders again and Gladys needs a new paper shredder for Xmas.

People are fuckwits. Obviously the worker was not following protocol.

FFS! I have a seat on a plane to see my family in WA and they won’t let NSW people in if this is happening.

One case panic panic panic

ADF couldn’t stop that hey... “gold standard”

This will more than likely see NSW residents banned from seeing their WA families for Christmas. They came so close only for this to happen. So devastating. covid19

GET IT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF SYDNEY AND HAVING WORKERS INTERCHANGE THEIR LOCATIONS!!!

Who hired the hotel quarantine workers? When is Dan going to accept responsibility for this and resign?!!

So 3 States with new cases reported from hotel quarantine workers. What should this be telling us about the hotel quarantine system?

EvieDaisy3 Don't let them PAST GO, lock the borders quick.....sack Gladbags....🤭🤭😊 Was it a private company running the quarantineWas the army involved if not, bring them in. What is Scomos saying? I hear crickets..😀

It’s been reported that Peta Credlin is on her way to sort Gladys and Hazzard out Heads will roll rachelbaxendale get off Job Seeker and report on this

Shut it down lock the borders lockdown lockdown lockdown.

Royal Commission please. Sack Gladys. Call the army in. Where’s Peta? She’ll get to the bottom of it.

The only reason Berejiklian needlessly eased restrictions yesterday was to distract from her mounting scandals Her recklessness is putting us all at risk Shame on GladysB
